This is what the local music scene looks like. A hundred years ago, this industry in Chicago was booming. And a big part of that was thanks to the mob and Prohibition.
One of the most iconic spots from that era is the Green Mill lounge (the name is a nod to the Moulin Rouge). It's still operating and they play jazz every single night! For over a hundred years now. The Green Mill has been through its share of ups and downs. It even had a stint under the management of Al Capone's associates. Their methods were pretty brutal—they actually cut one famous singer's throat because he refused to perform there.
These days everything's civilized and pleasant. The only reminder of those wild times is the tunnel the mob used to escape through during police raids.
PS. Oh, and they've made it their thing to only accept cash. They also close at 1:11 AM.
